First Lecture – Introduction
Two important components of the
course:
Formal lectures
Laboratory
Lectures: Presence recommended but not required
Labs: Presence mandatory

Objectives of the course
• Develop an appreciation for construction
materials
•
Understand the fundamental principles of
materials science and how it applies to civilengineering materials
• Develop laboratory skills: a) how to
measure, b) what it means, c) why it matters
(lab report)
• Improve interaction with your colleagues
•
Hopefully an enjoyable experience with
“practical” engineering

Late HW Policy:
50% off if handed in the next lecture
(please do not place it in mymailbox or under the door of my
office!).
HW will not be accepted after that.

Making Concrete (ACI code)
High-strength competition [(root?) beer and
pizza)! after you’re tired of concrete, you test wood.

A few notes about the lab:
It’s an integral part of the course.
You will join a group (4-5) and perform the experiment
together, however the laboratory report will alwaysbe individual. The data obviously will be the same
but the analysis and interpretation should be in your
own words.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated. The University nowhas even tougher rules. Contact me if you have any
doubts, questions, and concerns

A few words about the reports
Soon (hopefully) you will be a proud Berkeley engineerand you should be able to communicate your ideas
clearly.
Here are some suggestions for good practice:
Complete the cover page carefully. Never, ever, forget
to write your name.
Write a clear introduction: a) explain what theobjectives were and b) what you have done.
Next describe the experimental conditions: materials,equipment, and methods.

More “few words!”
Provide the experimental results in tables and graphsthat are easy to understand. Be extremely carefulwith units.
Discussion. Here is your chance to distinguishyourself from the crowd. Do the results makesense? Do they follow what would be theoreticallyexpected? If not, why not?
Conclusion: A few paragraphs should be enough tosummarize your work.
Appendix: Include raw data, etc.
